I su'd to root to do the make install (and went back and did it again to make sure), so that step should be done.
Here's the out put from a egrep "DIR|usr|local" ~/.xastir/config/xastir.cnf (note I added the . before xastir; I assume that was a typo in your message): AUTO_MAP_DIR:/usr/local/share/xastir/maps ALERT_MAP_DIR:/usr/local/share/xastir/Counties SELECTED_MAP_DIR:/usr/local/share/xastir/maps SYMBOLS_DIR:/usr/local/share/xastir/symbols SOUND_DIR:/usr/local/share/xastir/sounds GNIS_FILE:/usr/local/share/xastir/GNIS/TN.gnis GEOCODE_FILE:/usr/local/share/xastir/GNIS/TN.gnis DISPLAY_TNC_DIRECT_STATIONS:1 DEVICE3_HOST:localhost MAP_CHOOSER_EXPAND_DIRS:1 ST_DIRECT_TIMEOUT:3600 Nothing jumps out at me as being incorrect...am I overlooking something? -- William McKeehan On Fri, April 20, 2007 11:03 am, Curt, WE7U wrote: > On Fri, 20 Apr 2007, William McKeehan wrote: > >> Error! can not find color file: /xastir/config/xastir.rgb >> >> Before Xastir was all in /usr/local/share/xastir. >> >> Any pointers on what I should look at to get Xastir up and running again? > > xastir.rgb exists in the Xastir sources at > "xastir/config/xastir.rgb" > > When you do a "make install" as root, or do "sudo make install" if > you have /etc/sudoers setup up properly, that file and others should > get installed in the default location.
